When I say that this world is full of truth, nothing other than truth can be found anywhere, it may be bit confusing for you to believe. On the other hand you may even say that the world is full of untruth or falsity. Now I am raising it by saying that there is no untruth or falsity in the whole universe. Now I am asking you to show me one thing that is not true but false. You may search all over the world to find something that is not true. God has created everything as true only. The words untruth, false, falsity etc have no meaning at all. There is only truth; nothing other than truth in this whole world. Untruth is nothing but a human imagination. Yet, man believe in all imaginary false things and run behind it and suffer a lot. Even animals don't believe in the artificially created falsehood. K V George 

The above news cut out is that appeared in the 5th page of the Ernakulam edition of Malayala Manorama dated 31.10.2025. I would like to request to any Christian Church to rise to the occasion to help this poor woman whose husband is said to have died years ago. Those who have the slightest mind to help may read the following before and after the help. "Cure the infirm, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You have received freely, so give  freely." (Mathew 10:8) K V George

Our government cannot give them a reasonable sum as pension. On the other hand if they owe the government any taxes like IT, Land Tax, B...

India may be one of the most corrupt countries in the world. The prime reason for this is that there is no effective laws and the strict follow up of those existing laws. Untill the law become intolerable, the corrupt may continue with their trades. If the corruption is committed by a government employee, he should lose his job for ever. He should be asked to pay penalty of about ten times of the amount involved in the corruptive activities. Such ones should be never considered for a government job in the future. He should also undergo a minimum imprisonment of five years. Same punishment should be triggered in the case of an elected member too. Therefore, the government has to take  two steps immediately. First is to frame the law. The second is to strictly implement the law.  If this could be done without any reluctance we can make our country corruption free. According to some studies conducted by Vito Tanzi in India and in some other countries, corruption is ca...

Most Indians try to bring up their children to become rich and powerful. According to a report  by a leading newspaper of India, the top rich of the country consisting about 1% as of 2018 have annual growth of wealth by 39% whereas the lower half of the population has an average growth of wealth by 3% per annum. This can be called as the consequential impact of our democracy. But if we have a practical approach of the matter, we can find from our own neighborhood that the youth of today who have become alcoholic and narcotic addicts, political thugs, antisocial criminals etc are the creation of their own parents and the educational system they have undergone. Can we find any effort from anywhere to reform a spoilt one. Our political system prefer a criminal one than an educated and intelligent one. When we take a list of most intelligent and knowledgeable students in the world we may find the names Singapore, Hong Kong, Estonia, Canada, Chinese Taipei, Japan etc. Indian...

Wishing  birthday before time brings bad luck in Russia. Don't place two mirrors opposite as it makes infinite reflection and it opens way for the devil to come inside, is the Mexican belief. Whistling indoor invites demon in Lithuania. Cheers with water filled glass  brings death to the people in the party, is the belief in Germany. Getting a haircut on Tuesday cause bad luck in India. If a bird poops on someone or his property in Russia, it is lucky for him and he will become wealthy soon. It is a strong belief in Japan that writing someone's name in red ink will shorten the life of that person. In Turkey if you have itch on your right hand you will have some good money, but if it's on the left hand you will lose money. (Indebted  to Web sources for images and other description) K V George

There  is a story about a knowledgeable young man lived in a prosperous country. The king of that country could learn about this man. One day the king called him to the palace. During the talk the king found that this man possesses good knowledge. The king decided to help him to acquire more knowledge from different people and places. The king sent him to a very beautiful island inhabited by many intellectuals. The island had wide variety of animals, birds and trees. There were many rivers, lakes, hills and green valleys. The king asked him to stay there and enjoy for about an year. Sufficient money was given to him for his needs and was sent. After an year the man returned. The king called him to the palace and asked him what good things he had seen and learnt from there and how did he spent his time in the island for one year.  The man replied, "I took a furnished good house and appointed some servants and two cooks. They were making very good food for me. I used...

We  all in our young ages might have said that after sometime we too will have children. Husband and wife say soon after marriage that they would have beautiful daughter or a handsome son. Almost everyone nurture their children before they take birth in this world. Such children have no shape, colour, sex or intelligence. These are imaginary humans only. Then comes the real physical man with body, shape, colour, intelligence and status. This is the real man. Then comes the dead ones. They have different imaginary images for different onlookers. They all lived here for different periods and held different status. Now they all have imaginary shape, colour, intelligence and status. Some are good for some and some are not so good for some. While the prebirth and post death are not real ones they are in the minds of many. The real living ones do not think that they are falling into the imaginary world any time. Our existence in this world is like a rain drop falling from the...

We  Indians must be on the top layers of corruption in the world. When we call our country Mother India, we have no hesitation in stealing money and other forms of wealth from our mother without her knowledge. Our modus operandi is something like this:  Let's imagine that we have a large village with large population and large resources. Lot of developments are proposed in the annual budget. People are asked to pay huge amount of taxes to meet the proposed expenses. By the year end the President of the Village Association has purchased a bar. During the first week after opening the bar all the members of the village council were invited to the bar and provided them free drinks and free food every day. After a week it became twice in a week and in the third week the free service became once in a week. Then it became once in a month and after that it was  once in an year. And afterwards therewas no free business.  Time went on. All council members started w...

Undoubtedly we have responsibilities for the coming generation. We hold these  responsibilities under different perspectives. As parents we have large responsibility for them. Similarly, as teachers, as social workers, politicians, judicial members, law and order governors, religious leaders etc we have unfathomable responsibilities towards the coming generations. It is we who are bound to mould them. The prime tool to mould them is education. Unfortunately, from day one, our country is least bothered about imparting proper education to 100% of the coming generation. We may ask the following questions to our children between class 4 and class 12, in various densities. Can India become one of the top rich countries in the world? Can we make Indian unemployment rates to zero? Can we make our literacy level (basic education level) to graduation/bachelor degree? Can all Indians have own houses in a given period of time? Can India become a crime free one? Can women move in o...

Coffin maker There may not be many stories about people become rich overnight. Here we find a story of a coffin maker from Indonesia. He is  according to NDTV, a 33 years old man from Sumatra,  Joshua Hutagalung. When he went to sleep he was a poor one, but when he woke up in the morning he was rich by Rs 9.8 crores. What made him rich was a meteorite that crashed through his roof. The 2.1 kg matter from space was worth Rs. 63,000/- per gram as this meteorite was billions of years old. Miner Recently a miner named Saniniu Laizer from Tanzania could discover two Tanzanite Gemstones from mines. One of these weighed 9.27 kg and the other over 5 kg. Since these two Tanzanite Gemstones are the largest ever found in Tanzania, the government gave a reward to the miner. The reward amount is 7.74 billion Tanzanian shillings (Rs 24.7 crores) And that unexpected thing made the man a millionaire overnight. K V George 

Each  one of us believe that he or she is a unique person in the world. Over 7 billion people living in this world we may not find one like ourselves. This uniqueness may not be true as we think. The chances of our "twin" walking around us can be higher than our expectations. We may jump into our lookalike anytime anywhere. Durga Devi and Thavamalar could be mistaken for being the same one. Surprisingly they are completely unrelated. They are doppelgangers. It is more interesting to find that they work in the same department at Sunway Medical Centre. Doppelgangers are not biologically related, genetically related and have no connection with each other's family history but for some unknown reason have similar features. The strange possibility always remain that your doppelganger living somewhere even with your mother's catseye or father's black mole you have. Apparently there is one in 135 chance that there is a single pair of complete doppelgangers. (D...

In one word we can give an answer to this, and that is 'No'. In international level no any reliable survey has been conducted to find the knowledge or opinion of the people about their respective governments. However 'Pew' had conducted a brief survey in 2017. The highlights of it is given below. When we are discussing about this matter pertaining to nour own country we must assess the fact whether our people have adequate knowledge to understand the subject. Abstract of Survey report of PEW in 2017 about the democratic government in their own respective countries (percentage of dissatisfied people are shown) ------------------------------------------------ Canada 39%,   USA 62% UK 51%,  France 66% Italy 67%,  India 23% Australia 39%,  South Korea 69% Japan 76%,  Israel 62% The prime findings of the brief survey conducted by the Press Information Bureau in 2024 shows that while going through various age group of children in India have joined sch...

As per various media reports the MRP of Allopathic medicines are much above the cost of production. It is reported that generally the difference goes over a huge percentage. This wide difference must be shared by wholesalers at different stages and upto the final seller, the local medical shop. Most of these medicines are manufactured in different countries. 28% of medicines are manufactured in USA, 13% in China and the remaining 59% is by different countries including India.  Here comes the question. Can some of these medicines be manufactured in Ayurvedic combinations? India is rich in Ayurvedic herbal plants. With little research and a wider cooperation Ayurvedic medicine can be produced in the forms of tablets, capsules etc. And once we focus on the costly international medicines that are mostly unaffordable to common man in India Ayurvedic medicine shall have a wider acceptability. When the price is low and the result is superior it will have an appreciable demand....

(Image of a German University) There are 24 countries including Germany, France, Switzerland, UK, Sweden, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Austria, Netherlands,  Norway, Japan, Ireland, Finland, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Israel and New Zealand providing free health care to all their citizens.  Education has become something like a rich commodity in many countries in the world. Education has become beyond the reach of common man in many parts of the world. In the same world we can find the following countries offering free education for all. Those countries are Germany, Norway, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. Amongst them Germany offers 100% fees exemption for international students too. Some of their Universities have offered English language as medium of instruction for international students. According to Mercer CFA Institute Global Pension Index 2020,  39 countries including India is giving old age pension to their citizens. K V George

Rape, rape everywhere rape in our country! According to the report by Statatista there are 28,046 rape cases in 2020 and 31,677 in 2021 in India.  Young children are raped and killed, thrown to the fields bleeding. Girls below ten are raped by men above sixty. Eighty years old woman is raped and thrown to the drainage by a boy of 20+ and a passer-by saved her and admitted in the hospital. Recently there was a news paper report that two senior officials raped a girl candidate came for interview. These are all the media reports of the recent times. What is wrong with men of India? Is it some disease or any biological complications or some geological impacts? How to find the real reason?  Or, is it the result of lack of punishment? If lack of punishment is the real issue it can be sorted out by proper punishment, the gallows. While taking the states with highest number of rape cases in 2021 Rajasthan reported 6,337, MP 2,947, UP 2,845, Maharashtra 2506. In Kerala 16,4...

Cleanliness  of a country is determined by.clean water, better air quality, better handling of waste, and a well arranged sanitation. High pollution level cause high rate of non-communicable diseases, accounting for 72% of all deaths, 16% of which are caused by toxic pollution. According to the Environment Performance Index the following countries are found top in the world. With the EPI score of 82.5, Denmark is the cleanest country in the world followed by Luxemburg, Switzerland, UK, France, Austria, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Germany. Most polluted cities in the world according to the air quality data collected are; 1. Hotan (China) 2 to 14. Indian cities Ghaziabad, Bulandshahr,  Bisrakh Jalalpur,  Bhiwadi, Noida, Greater Noida, Kanpur, Lucknow, Delhi, Faridabad, Meerut, Jind and Hisar.

Many of the newspapers  have reported about the observation made by the Governor of Kerala about the academic qualifications of the ministers some times back. In case any political elements are believed to have concealed in the statement, we may leave it but concentrate on the substance of the subject. Since it is not an isolated issue of the state of Kerala but it pertains to the whole country and, therefore, needs discussion at various levels across the country. The one who manages the entire health establishments of the state or the whole country should essentially have the medical knowledge as recognised. Similarly the one who oversees the law and justice machinary should have fairly good knowledge of law of the land. The minister of roads and bridges cannot escape by saying that he has not studied engineering. An agricultural minister should know all about the seeds, fertilizers, irrigation etc to manage his portfolio. Above all an illiterate cannot be entrusted wi...

First published on Feb 12, 2024 The British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, US President Harry Truman and the Russian leader Joseph Stalin at the Postdam conference in 1945. Communists are hoisting red flags in India for about a century. During these long years they could not touch more than three states. Brief explanation of Communism can be like this: 'Communism is a political and economic ideology that positions itself in opposition to liberal democracy and capitalism, advocating instead for a classless system in which  the means of production are owned communally and private property is non-existent or severely curtailed.' The above Communist principles are not at all adhered to by Indian Communists. Whenever they get an opportunity to rule any of the three state here they conduct the ruling as is where is basis just get contented with the rewards in whatever form it may be. Karl Marx has brought in Communism to fight against, rather to use as an effective too...

This was first published on 02.12.2022 Women are not safe in God's Own Country! The reports appeared in our news media every day suggest so. Is this happening out of a fearless attitude of our men or from a state of extreme lawlessness or due to some abnormal biological constitution of some people? Whatever it may be, we must immediately find an answer to this and correct. Stringent punishment should be the first option. The next option would be psychiatric treatment for habitual offenders. The next is the preventive measures. In this category the best would be including this subject in the school syllabus from class 4 to 12. Atleast the coming generations can expect safety. The rulers of the states as well as the country should give due attention to this matter and action to be taken on top most priority. I would also like to stress the fact that the entire society including the parents, the teachers, the religious leaders, the police establishment, the political syste...

If we closely look at many things that take place around us we can find that many things or, may be everything happens in the world are in a given order. Whether it is the journey of our earth around the sun at such accuracy or falling of the leaves from the trees or the annual human death rate around the world, we may be able to find some super intelligence behind all these actions. Over and above these while comparing the life of two people of different times, we may be able to find some amazing resemblances. Each human ever born on this earth, right from the date and time and location of birth, name, parents, siblings, children, profession, friends etc etc are not our choice but are done under some commands or some law. The resemblance in various aspects of lives of two eminent personalities lived in USA in different times are analysed below. They are former American Presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy.

Religions teach that everything in the world is created by God. Science too suggests nearly same thing.  There is always a purpose behind every creation. And that purpose is decided by the creator himself. There are countless number of creations in this world. Each form of creation must be having its own purpose according to its own shape and other qualities. Each group of creation is, therefore, unique in its purpose, may be with minute difference. Let us concentrate on man. Man is governed by three sets of guidelines. Those are Religious or Divine guidelines, built-in Natural guidelines and Scientific guidelines. Religious or Divine guidelines are believed to have prescribed by the Supreme One. In the Bible, Jesus says that man cannot do anything without Him.  "For without me, you are able to do nothing.".(John 15:5) That must be a law of creation. Man has made such amount of equipments in this world. None other than those made for automatic functions works by i...

Most of us travel a lot. Many of us travel extensively on assignments. When we are sent somewhere on assignments, some informations are inevitably held by us. Those are, where we have come from, what is our task there, how long we are to remain there and where we have to go from there. These are the essential information in every journey. Contrary to this and surprisingly, we don't hold any such information in our journey to this world. More than 750 cores people are now living in this world. Many fold of this came and returned from here. None of them know this basic information. Does this mean that  those who have sent us here do not want to reveal these informations to us, for reason best known to Him. Therefore, until now, no one who came to this world never knew that where they have come from, what for they have come here, how long they have to be here or where they have to go back from here .

Blue  House Pub in Sunderland Hendon, London is a 167 years old Bar in England. Abnormal visitors are coming here for quite sometime.

When asked by the customer, the service boy pick the glass, place in the filling spot and put the switch on and fill the glass. Contrary to this, a few days back, when a customer asked for beer, the glass moved self to the filling point and got the beer fillled without anyone's help. Similar incident took place 20 years back when the present owner's aunty was running the pub. A few days back a spiritualist came to the bar and said that he felt the presence of a spirit there. The former owner also says that he too had such experience a few times. In his time the glasses were moving by itself and falling down to the floor and broken. In the absence of any cct...

Time is the continued sequence of existence and events that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, and into the future. It is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the concious experience. Time is often referred to as a fourth dimension, along with three spatial dimensions. Time is something that we cannot see, hear or imagine. Time remains unbound and totally spread as one everywhere. It has no beginning and no end. Science explains the Big Bang theory like,  " ... at the beginning of time, the tiny particle exploded ..." This must be a wrong conception to give a beginning for time. Time cannot be lengthened or curtailed. It will not be brightened or vanished. Even no dent can be done on time. With all these unique qualities time is like God except havi...

(Main entrance of Folsom State Prison, CA, USA) Image courtesy, Dreamstime. According to a report by National Crime Record Bureau of 2021 Kochi ranked 3rd in populationwise crime reported in 19 cities of India. This comes to 1603.7 crimes per one lakh population. The data released shows that 33,697 IPC and SLL (not serious crimes) crimes were reported in Kochi in 2021. Why crime rate is so high in a Kerala City? The prime cause may be widespread availability of narcotics here. Peace loving citizens may point their fingers towards the government, the police, various political parties and the media. What is media to do with crimes? Media is expected to report any crime with in depth details. Here some media do not give the personal details of the criminal. Protecting the identity of the criminals encourages them to commit more crimes. If he is an active participant of a political party, media do not expose these details at all.

After having the necessary discussion in between all of you, you may plan to execute the same in a large way with a wide scope of trade with many countries. Your communication can be per WhatsApp or through any other selected social media. If the initial discussion is successful you may establish an International trading firm any of your ...

Unemployed people in India may be around 12 crores. Regarding underemployment, since no accurate figures could be gathered, this too coul be estimated around 6 to 8 crores. Over and above these, about 65 lakh graduates including 15 lakhs engineers, are passed out every year in different parts of the country. This is the problem, the only problem, our country face now. In order to get over this, I would like to suggest the following for the consideration of all central and state ministers of the country. Henceforth you all may stop attending all political and religious meetings. In place of these non-productive meetings, you may conduct meetings, seminars, conferences etc to find ways and means to resolve unemployment in our country. If you could find answer to this one problem it will answer to all our problems. K V George 

We may find that people lived in sometime in 1960/1950 and before had comparatively less ill health than people who lived later. There may be something to compare with the people of today. They were eating natural food items grown and cooked by themselves. Today we eat a good amount of contaminated packed food. The vegetables and fruits of those days were very clean, but what we get today is with high quantity of dangerous insecticides used fruits and vegetables. A very harmful quantity of destructive chemicals are used by us from food alone. Fish, chicken, egg etc are also said to be harmful to health. Over and above all these there are polluted air and water to damage our health. May be due to lack of intimacy with our mother earth we are not able to push out the negative energy in us. And this must be the answer to the better health conditions of the people of the pre sixty period.  The significant difference between the people of the pre 1960 period and those of tod...

    Image courtesy to Amazon.in Breast tax (Mulakkaram) must be the most abnormal tax levied anywhere in the world. It was introduced by the erstwhile state of Travancore under the British rule in India. This tax was imposed on the women of lower caste, Nadars and Ezhavas between the age of 16 and 35. They were not allowed to cover their breasts and if anyone do otherwise were punished by heavy taxes. There was Channar revolt between 1839 and 1859 that prompted earlier against this tax seeking right for their women to cover their body at will but it went on for long until  it was withdrawn in 1924. The most remembered person in breast tax revolt was Nangeli who lived in Cherthala in the princely state of Travancore during the early 19th century. She was said to have cut off her breasts in protest against the breast tax. However the story of Nangeli was never reflected in historical books of Kerala and therefore, remained in the minds of the people like a ficti...
